We all know that eating vegetables is important for our health and wellbeing, and yet, so many of us avoid them whenever we can. If the only things you can make with vegetables are bland salads, we understand why you don’t want them on your daily menu. But what if we told you that you can easily make incredibly delicious salads you’ll want to eat day after day? Here’s how.

Great Base

Combine a few different varieties of greens as a base of your salad if you want to achieve a better result in the end. It doesn’t have to take you a lot of time; you can use pre-made bags of mixed greens available in many grocery stores. If you want to do it from scratch, consider combinations of romaine, spinach, iceberg, kale, or arugula.

Something Cooked

There’s no reason why your salad should only consist of raw ingredients. You can easily make it more interesting with some roasted veggies, boiled and grated egg, or anything else you like.

Protein

A salad with some protein in it can replace a whole meal. You can achieve this with grilled chicken, chickpeas, avocado, nuts, or seeds.

Dressing

Moving on, the right dressing can completely transform any salad, so don’t be afraid to experiment a little bit until you find your perfect combination. Ceaser, Italian, and Thousand Island are only a few options—or you can look up some amazing mixtures online as well.
